I used new wallet

Firewall?

Nah, im getting exactly the same thing.

Old wallet was fine - just updated via the installer and now it wont connect. just says "status loading block chain data..." (even though i was fully upto date on the old version) and the exchange tab also is receiving no data.
I removed qt-boolb.exe from firewall, re-added it in and still nothing.

Windows 8.1 here.

exactly same as you , windows 8.1 and the GUI keep showing "Loading blockchain data"

Glad to know I'm not the only one having the problem.

Windows 8.1, GUI won't progress past "Loading blockchain data".
